Preliminary Research + Online Discussion: Watch a video background “Introduction to biomimicry.” Then, research to find a research manufacturing product/process of interest that was inspired by a biological process. Summarize your findings in a short paragraph on the course discussion board, review the other posts, and reply with your thoughts to two other posts with the least replies. 2 Entrepreneurial Market Analysis + Online Discussion: Watch a video application introduction discussing “Skillset vs Mindset.” Then, focus on research the modern applications

the End: Introducing a Final Exam Problem on the First ClassMeeting to Foster Curiosity and Engagement Throughout the SemesterintroductionThe Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) promotes an Entrepreneurial Mindset(EM) consisting of 3 Cs: curiosity, connections, and creating value [1]. It is claimed thatinstilling students with EM will improve their learning outcomes and career readiness [2], [3].Recent research has shown that EM can be applied to Engineering Technology (ET) coursework,with promising results [4], [5], [6].The motivation for this study was to examine whether activities based on EM would improve theperceived weak aspects of an existing junior-level mechanical engineering technology (MET)class on finite element

related to energy savings opportunities inindustrial processes. This hands-on approach helps students apply their knowledge to real-worldsustainability challenges.Capstone Design Integration: The educational approach integrates various sustainabilityframeworks into capstone design projects. This includes using Life Cycle Analysis for conceptgeneration, incorporating entrepreneurial mindset (EM) concepts for economic analysis, andapplying Engineering for One Planet (EOP) principles for sustainability.Biomimicry: The approach suggests incorporating principles of biomimicry in fundamentalcourses and capstone concept generation. This educational strategy leverages nature-inspireddesign solutions.LCA Tools: Transitioning from one LCA tool (Granta
